Minneapolis burning.

The MAJORITY of the protestors are non violent.

Their message is lost though...isn't it? The media doesn't focus on them...they give the airtime to the destruction....

[Iolo/Penderyn]

There's never a need or excuse for that kind of violence and destruction....
...nor is there ever a need or excuse for disregard for a human life, particularly when it ends in an avoidable death.

As you know, black' people do not control your racist state.

You know how some Christians cringe when a non-Christian quotes the Bible at them? That's how non-racists feel when a flaming racist like Toxic quotes Dr. King.

Let's look at what else he had to say about violence and riots:

"...But in the final analysis, a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it that America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the Negro poor has worsened over the last few years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice, equality and humanity. And so in a real sense our nation’s summers of riots are caused by our nation’s winters of delay. And as long as America postpones justice, we stand in the position of having these recurrences of violence and riots over and over again. Social justice and progress are the absolute guarantors of riot prevention."

And more than fifty years later, are we listening yet? Guess we aren't.

Trump has placed 4 active duty military police units on alert to help quell the growing riots. That seems to be mighty thin ice to me considering the posse comitatus act.

Only what to racists? The media here didn't cover the gatherings of mourners at local schools/churches...they focused on the looting/burning....

More 'exciting', and - ultimately - gets more adverts over. Same everywhere.

But nothing to do with the death of George Floyd....

Well, that's what the people - very properly - are protesting about in their various ways, but as you can see from the reaction here, violence gets a bigger response, so it sells papers and so on.

That's what happens when you only use Fox for your "news." NBC Nightly News, for one, has devoted extensive time to the murder of Floyd, with more coverage of that and the protesters, than the arson and looting. They have also focused on the murder-by-cop of the young woman in Louisville, Breonna Taylor. I wonder how much coverage your favorites Breitbart and Fox have devoted to *that* travesty?

Racists like you only see what you want to see.

That violence is nothing about "properly protesting" his death....

Your hatred of Trump is noted. FYI the posse comitatus act is a law not part of the constitution! I am worried that a president might be overtly violating the law.

Well, obviously it is. People should burn down every police station in the state, if you ask me. That might get the point through at last - people do tend to object to being murdered by racist scum.
